>> mike: 15 minutes of football left from bloomington. they're having their own game now, that's the miniature field behind the end zone. >> ed: they're definitely not playing by the rules. not a lot of guys lining up to play offensive line in that kids' field, are there? >> mike: no, they're not. cardale jones to the end zone, touchdown! michael thomas! great throw, now, flags down, that's going to be for an excessive celebration, i would think. >> ed: michael thomas becoming just an absolute go-to guy when you need a big play. against northern illinois he had the great catch in the corner of the end zone. did the same thing at the end of

the half against alabama in that semifinal in that sugar bowl last year >> referee: after the play was over, unsportsmanlike, offense, penalty will be assessed on the kickoff. touchdown. >> ed: i believe they're getting michael thomas which did a gesture against his throat, which is an automatic call. you can't do that. >> mike: oh, geez. >> ed: you can't do that. sa yards after the kick. and in a game, okay, now you're up ten, but there is a full quarter to go and now 15 yards could give indiana good field position. >> mike: it was a great throw by cardale jones, we had been talking about his inaccuracy. that time he put it on the money. >> ed: this ohio state offensive line, we have heard all year that this is one of strengths

coming in, but they have been kind of feeling their way. in the second half of this game, this offense has been starting to feel its way. a huge hole for ezekiel elliott. here's that power run, pat elf elfleein. another blowup, missed tackle by tegray scales. then elliott shows you that mini burst he has when he gets in the open field. now starting to take over. little bit second half than first. >> mike: i really feel for indiana right now. you've lost your running back, second in the nation coming in, very effective before he hurt his ankle.

you lost your quarterback and was mobile enough in the pocket to avoid the rush, they both go down. you know, you had to nothing to answer with. >> ed: let's see. this is team that's built, they have a solid offensive line. simmie cobbs is a big, tall receiver who can make plays. don't count them out yet. but ohio state starting to look like -- >> mike: donavan hale hale puts the ball on the ground. a flag on the play as well. let's check in with jerry punch. >> jerry: we're just learning that nate sudfeld zapparently hurt his ankle at the end of the wake forest game, at the very end of the game a week ago, it went unnoticed. after the call, we'll -- and apparently he missed a couple of days of practice early in week, tried to go later in the week. we watched him on thursday. but they didn't say anything. then when he got rolled up here

a few minutes ago, that's the ankle last week. >> ed: weent to practice yesterday, he didn't look like he was walking around like a 22-year-old or 23-year-old guy should be walking around. i asked kevin wilson about it, especially for a quarterback, he just got banged out. now the truth comes out. not surprised. he didn't look 00% yesterday and didn't look like much to tweak his ankle. >> mike: diamont on the keeper, only picks up about two. darron lee chased him to the corner. >> ed: the problem is, when you have an outside backer like darron lee who's an quarterback, now playing a monster job on the outside. >> mike: he's 55 pounds heavier than you are. that complicates the situation a little bit when you try to turn upfield. 6 nothing like the feeling of

somebody who's twice as big as you are outrunning you. >> ed: lee had a huge interception returned for a touchdown against northern illinois, in the late third quarter when ohio state really needed something to happen. he came through. >> mike: tough situation here, third and six. diamont threw that up for grabs. he's fortunate that wasn't picked off, as sam hubbard put pressure on him. >> ed: in fairness with indiana offense, you get caught with diamont, you have to call a different game, you can see not quite as confident. this guy is in his second year of college football, was thrown in the fire last year, may end up being a solid quarterback. >> mike: five three and outs in the last six possessions. another low skidding kick that goes out of bounds at around the

45 yard line. time-out with 13:53 to go from blooming tob, indiana, ohio state now by ten.

jones gets it out to marshall there is a flag down. marshall lost the ball. indiana has it! now, we'll check the marker. >> ed: second fumble for jalin marshall. >> mike: yeah, he has issues krk krx last year he had the huge game against indiana. the week before, marshall had two fumbles. two here today. it looked like it was going to be put away by ohio state. >> referee: personal foul. on the offense. that penalty is declined. the result of the play is fum e fumble. recovered by indiana. >> mike: so, new life for the hoosiers and great field position to start with. >> ed: as he spins out, just loses control of the ball. that was rashard fant who has been banged up a bit who was fighting with him, just not enough to pull that ball out for

marshall. >> mike: very difficult to play a guy who puts the ball consistently in the ground no matter how dynamic he might be. >> ed: they're going to review. now, the question may have been, was he out of bounds? if marshall is touching the ball out of bounds -- >> mike: first, does he step out of bounds? >> ed: the ball is out, still inbounds. let's watch as the play continues. marshall ends up laying down. didn't touch it there. so, checking to see if he's inbounds or touches it while he's out. doesn't look like it to me. as marshall goes to reach out and touch it right there, he

missed it about an inch. 16 steps out of bounds. oh, he's out of bounds when he recovers the ball. >> mike: he got back in, i th k think. >> ed: you have to establish yourself back in, so the question becomes, was fant legal when he came back in to recover this ball. >> mike: what a huge break this would be. if you do out of bounds, you can't be the first guy -- >> ed: right there, that left foot is out of bounds when he goes to touch this ball. i'm not so sure -- my understanding of this, i believe this will be ohio state ball. because fant is the first guy to touch the ball, i would be shocked if this was not given back to ohio state. >> mike: then you go back and

penalize the block that started this play. >> ed: you would have to give indiana the opportunity to accept that penalty if they do overturn this >> referee: after further review the ruling on the field the fumble recovered by indiana stands. first down. >> ed: we'll get an explanation from the replay review. but i'm shocked that this stood for indiana. it looked like to me that fant was out of bounds. >> mike: he was clearly out of bounds with his left foot. but indiana takes over at the 49 yard line. diamont hands to redding. redding knocked out at the 46 yard line. >> ed: my understanding it's

reviewable to establish if a player was out of bounds before making a play. i believe that was reviewable. we're still waiting to hear why that wasn' overturned and given back to ohio state. >> mike: the fake to redding. diamont takes off. nice cut to get some more yardage across the 40, dragged out of bounds. crowd wanted a flag, they thought it was a late hit but he was contacted inside by conley and taken out of bounds. >> ed: diamont didn't look like he was going to pick up the yardage. good for ohio state that conley is back in. >> mike: a good noncall, just a hard tackle. took him out of bounds with him. redding. gets a couple. let's go back one time. >> ed: we just heard from the

replay officials that while fant was touching the ball, it is not clear -- we'll have stop it right when he touches the ball, he does have the opportunity to come back in to establish himself, they're not sure as we roll guard whether his foot is on the ground and the left leg is on the ground. i don't disagree as i watch this and hear the explanation. he was back in the field of play before he recovered. i want to go back one more time. because this is very important, obviously a with a turnover at this point in the game. watch fant's left foot come off the ground and his right hip go down which would re-establish him in the field of play. i agree. i think that the right call was not to overturn the recovery by indiana after we got the explanation. excellent explanation by the replay booth.

>> mike: third and eight. movement on the offensive line. >> referee: false start, offense, number 77, five-yard penalty. still third down. third and 13 from third and 8. >> ed: if you're kevin wilson, you're thinking, this is touchdown territory, you're going for seven here. i know you're down ten. >> mike: how many more opportunity are you going to get? >> ed: you're not going to get a bunch. you not to be thinking four downs. >> mike: flea flicker. back to diamont, he's got the first down! mitchell paige on the flanker end-around pass. >> ed: that ball hung up there forever and powell couldn't get over there fast enough. he wanted to lay out diamont and

he couldn't get over there fast enough. >> mike: flag is down. this may be on ohio state. >> ed: yeah, it looked like they grabbed the face mask of redding. you know, we talked to kevin wilson yesterday about this exact situation -- >> referee: personal foul, face mask, defense, number 55. half the distance to the goal line. automat ix first down. >> mike: you can tell how windy is from the official's microphone. >> ed: we talking to kevin wilson being down ten, because his kicker has such a good leg, it's so much harder to score a touchdown in this situation, he said i would normally continue to go for the touchdown here, even if ohio state burns the clock and we get the ball back, we can always try a superlong field. >> mike: look at ul of the white shirts there. >> ed: the thinking is, if

you're down ten, take the three and get back. his thinking is a little bit different, he said with our kicking situation, so hard to score, we haven't been great in the red zone scoring touchdowns. sometimes i got to think seven, three later i can get from farther away. >> mike: but, will that change because sudfeld isn't in there and howard isn't in there? >> ed: that's a good call. >> mike: this is for the end zone and dropped, right in the hands of tyvis powell at the goal line. >> ed: wow. tyvis powell did an awesome job from his safety position of reading the quarterback's eyes, diamont lets that ball come a bit to the inside and tyvis powell lets it fall right to the ground. >> ed: he's the guy who clinched the alabama semifinals with the

interception in the end zone. that looked like a clincher for ohio state there. >> mike: another huge play, third and 14. diamont. to the end zone. overthrown, off the finger tips of jordan fuchs. >> ed: now, fourth and long, you got to kick the field goal. no choice here. if it was fourth and one, he would go for it. with the wind at his back from 65 yards, but now fourth and long you're not going to attempt the first down, obviously. >> mike: they need two scores. this would cut it to a seven-point lead and certainly keep the crowd in it. 6 this is from 35. he's already hit from 34. oakes, 8 out of 9 on the year. make it 9 out of 10 and indiana

thought it was against ohio state. >> ed: well, it looked to me michael thomas the receiver got away with holding. it would have been a nice, long run, but watch as elliott come prs top of your screen, that was the offside, just a touch earlier by ralph green, but watch thomas, freeze it right there, yeah, that was holding on michael thomas. it would have been a nice run but i think we may have offsetting penalties and it would have been coming back. >> mike: what a ridiculous effort for ezekiel elliott. eight carries for 234 yards. holy cow. what a half. ened m and ohio state back on top by 14 this time.
